Third Paragraph
Kehlani gives the straight truth about her life, pain, passion, love, triumph, and everything in between with collected calm and confidence. Its that type of honesty that makes her music resonate with the depth of classic Motown and a vividly confessional lyricism reminiscent of Neo Soul. At the same time, her 2015 mixtape, You Should Be Here, tells a story that distinctly belongs to her. Her father passed away when she was very young She began her rise to fame early and had performed on the same stage as Stevie Wonder by the time she was in her late teens. Before beginning her singing career, she studied dance at the Oakland School for the Arts and hoped to study at Juilliard.
